Book Trailer:


An Excerpt from β€˜The MindGame’

Running thehot water, I washed myhands with mandarin-scented liquid soap. As steam rose, it misted over themirror. I examined the duct work, admiring the aesthetic. This was my kind ofplace, I decided. Urban chic. I patted my hands on a towel and squirted some ofthe chamomile-scented lotion provided over my fingers, rubbing it in gently. Myskin was so dry.

Perhaps Idaydreamed for a moment, maybe realized I was hungry and thought about where we might go for snacknearby. Anyhow, for whatever reason I lost track of time. It couldn’t have beenfor more than a minute or two. Next thing I knew, someone was hammering on therestroom door.

I walkedover and unlocked thedoor. Kenzie was there along with Boujee. Both wore troubled expressions.

She said, β€œYou all right?”

I shrugged. β€œYeah, why?”

Boujee flashed me a supercilioussmile and stretched out her palm. β€œKey.” But she didn’t need to use the room.She just stomped away, back to the front desk.

β€œSure you’re okay?” asked Kenzie.β€œYou can tell me, she’s gone.”

β€œI’m fine.”

He shookhis head. β€œIf you sayso.” He seemed reluctant to say more. He paced over to the sink and wet hisfingers, wiping his face. β€œLet’s go. Wait.” He pointed to the mirror-stone.β€œWhat’s this?”

β€œYeah, notmuch of a mirror, isit?”

β€œI meant thewriting.”

At first I thoughtI’d misheardhim. β€œDid you say β€˜writing?’”

He gave me this quirky smile, likehe thought we were playing. β€œYeah. β€˜Find unicorns.’ Why’d you write that?”

β€œMe? I didn’t writeanything.”

He continued topoint directly atthe stone slab. β€œAnd yet.”

Completely baffled, I closed infor a better look. Then I saw it. The words took a few seconds to register ameaning. An inscription in the fine condensation was fading rapidly but still legible. Traced, very obviously, by finger.

FIND UNICORNS.

My fingertips and nose feltsuddenly cold, as if they’d caught a sharp breeze. I swallowed, grasping for amemory that wasn’t there.

I repeated, β€œI didn’t writeanything.”

Kenzie’s eyestwinkled. β€œThen who?Casper the ghost?”

Igrabbed his arm, not gently.β€œI’m being serious, Kenzie. I did not write those words.”

He flinched, as if I’d flicked hisface. Anger flashed across his face for just a second.

He thinks I’m lying, playing adumb game.
